2010 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept suggests a new idea and components for transforming a production Corvette into a serious, closed-course track car. It is showcases how an enthusiast can leverage Chevrolet’s expanding portfolio of performance parts to create a full-on track car.

It based on the Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ equipment package, along with the Z07 Performance Package and CFZ Carbon Fiber Package. The 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package creates the lightest production Corvette and includes carbon ceramic brakes and Magnetic Ride Control, while the CFZ package offers body components that enhance aerodynamic down force on the race track, including a front splitter.

Added the features competition-oriented modifications including: an adjustable carbon fiber rear wing, a polycarbonate rear window, roll cage, racing seat and safety harness, racing wheels, suspension enhancements – including coil-over struts with fully adjustable camber plates – racing-spec cooling system and more. The radio, carpeting and sound-deadening material are also removed.
